That is the reason why I ePayed a /90 board last night for EUR 26,50 to
upgrade my /60.

Very nice config!

As already mentioned this can be done with the PROM too. I used this
once to extract the PROM of my VS2k. We needed this to apply the VS2k
SCSI boot patch... When the /90 board arrives here I will upgrade my
/60 (I hope that this is possible...) and dump the PROM of it and my
already NetBSD running /90. So we will have some other PROMs to compare
soon.
